Finding Your Safety Net: Do Having Faith, Being Baptized, and Taking Communion Have Value?

by Glen W. Covert

Are you searching for a survival tool that is unconditional, reliable, and unique for you? Have you been baptized, but you have questions about it? Are you struggling to accept what you know to be true because you can’t verify it?

In "Finding Your Safety Net", Glen W. Covert offers an encouraging and inspiring, spiritual how-to guide that leads to a tool which can help you overcome personal, occupational, and existential crises. A former agnostic and atheist, he shares his journey to discover the unique survival tool he was seeking.

For everyone, especially agnostics and atheists, Glen describes what convinced him to have faith.

For believers in Jesus, he gives compelling reasons for why you can survive depression and spiritual attacks.

Glen chronicles his story of survival in five testimonies. He discusses:

• how he knows souls and spirits exist,
• how he came to believe in God,
• how he came to believe in the Christian God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit,
• why he decided Christian baptism and Communion were for him, and
• a truth he discovered about the genealogies of John the Baptist and Paul the Apostle.

"Finding Your Safety Net" provides solid insight into central topics in Christianity to help you find your survival tool or become more resilient, anchored, and unshakable in your Christian faith.

I have come to know personally Glen in Vienna at the exact same time he released this book. So I have the pleasure of -not knowing a lot about him- but getting to know him at the same time, along with getting to know him through his book. I find a great harmony of a personal character between the book and the very, very interesting person I know am knowing more about. This book is multifaceted.

1. It is written from the life experience of someone who was agnostic and then at one point an atheist and who for most of his life put science and reason as the highest form of belief one could have. But through his life, ended up encountering the living Jesus Christ. And in fact, who saved his life. In more ways than one. So from the perspective of someone not knowing or caring about a belief in Jesus, it is a powerful witness and testimony that God is real, and that He cares about each one of us so deeply and this encounter transformed Glen’s life to what it is now today.

2. It is then also written from a perspective of a man of reason and analysis to then take his faith further by asking some hard questions about traditions and things that Christians do after they take Jesus as their savior. i.e. Why should one get baptized and then take communion? I think it is really a deeply profound book on the research and study and grasp as to answering the why?
There is a word which says in the bible that Jesus reiterates from the Old Testament: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.” To often, whether one is a believer in any religion or in science, we believe things we are told but we never test them out as to why we actually believe it. Glen is one who cannot simply accept being told “just because,” he has to test it, analyze it and grasp it with his mind so that … he can love God with not only his full heart but also his full mind. So for me, I connect deeply with this part of his journey. By analyzing and testing these things, his heart and mind are in alignment which finally cements his faith to be stronger than most and that he will always be able to defend why he believes what he believes. So I’m thankful to get to know Glen personally, and, to see a part of his life through his life story in this book. All the best with this book mate!
